Congrats for doing it all! It wasn't easy I'm sure.

Don't stress about your weight. The weight might come off a lot so easily the next coming months.

You did so many positive changes to your life and health and that is great. Stay stress free and enjoy the journey! :-)

Well, as my Quest to find Irn Bru lollies in Cheshire & Greater Manchester has failed, I've finally cracked. I've bought several million little bottles (250ml) of diet Irn Bru. I open one before bed, let it go flat overnight then drink it throughout the morning. I only allow myself 1 bottle per day but boy do I enjoy it.

I thinks that's pretty sensible Rosie- we've got to allow ourselves a little treat!

I keep a little stash of biscuits in for those really desperate moments (or where I am so below my calorie intake for the day!)

How's the weight loss going? I'm finding mine has slowed a little bit, but not too much. I reached my halfway point this week, which is a bit confusing because I feel no different!

Weightloss picked up last month but still not as much as I expected but I'm doing ok.

You've lost half the weight you aim to? That's good, I've only lost 45lbs in total. I don't feel any different but I can certainly see a difference in my clothes.

I'm at 55lbs down, which is about halfway to my first goal. It will leave me at about 4lbs to go to a "healthy" BMI.

I'm exactly the same. I got my first "you're looking slim" from someone I hadn't told this week, which made me think that there must be some difference!

Well done. It does make a difference when people start to notice.

I'm trying to up my walking but it's catch 22 at the moment. I prefer walking when the weather is nice but I've just bought a new convertible car so I also like driving around with the roof down. The car's winning right now, had a lovely blast down the Tatton Mile before with the wind in my hair.

My mid-life crisis has officially begun :) Think Patsy in Ab Fab then some.....

I'm with you on the Patsy and Ab Fab track!!!! I've got a black Fiat Abarth convertible and I LOVE IT. My mid-life crisis has not just begun, it is well under way and boy, is it ever fun. Gone is any semblance of being a mature woman and girl power is the only gear that I engage now!!!!!!!!!

I've bought an MX5 Roadster SE in Storm Blue with black leather trim. Girls behaving badly is my anthem.

How about getting yourself some ice lollie mounds and making some Iron bru lollies.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
